I was there just a couple of weeks before the season started and stayed in Petrovac -- between Bar and Budva - a little closer to Budva.

I never wanted to leave..................and I want to go back ASAP!!!!!

I stayed in Sochi/Adler, Russia on the Black sea for two weeks - private hotel, cafe for every meal, no car, one stupid excursion (free) and in rubles.

I stayed in Petrovac, Montenegro on the Adriatic for three weeks - apartment, cafe only when I wanted to eat out, Suzuki for seven days, two excursions (I paid) - one a boat trip all the way to Kotter and the other a bus to Dubrovnik, Croatia and in euros.

The total was far cheaper in Montenegro --- A week longer and a no mileage charge on the car --- that comparison included the taxi from my front door to the airport and all the way back home again for both trips!!!!
